What's the difference between symbolism poetry and misty poetry in writing techniques?

Symbolism, generally referring to creative methods, expresses elusive illusions, and its content is mysticism. What the writer wants to elaborate is not the real objective world, but the personal subjective inner world. Symbolism comes from the word symbol. In Greek, it originally meant to be a token of "dividing a wooden board into two halves with one end on each side to show its connection", and then it gradually evolved into "a representative of the habit of taking a form as a concept". Symbols have existed since ancient times. It is a way of association, that is, linking what you see in front of you with what you have experienced in the past to form a unique new artistic conception.

Symbolism, as a specific literary trend of thought, first appeared in France in 1980s, mainly in the field of poetry creation. French symbolist poets include Malamei (1842- 1898), Verguan (1844- 1896) and Bo Han (185d-18965438). In drama, the Belgian playwright maeterlinck (1862- 1949) is the representative.

Since 1980, a new school of poetry has suddenly appeared, which is called "misty poetry school".

Since 1979, a group of young poets with Shu Ting, Gu Cheng and Bei Dao as pioneers have published a large number of poems with new styles. This kind of poem has not appeared in China's literary press for thirty or forty years. At first, their poems seemed to inherit the tradition of modernism or postmodernism, but soon they opened up new fields, went further and became a kingdom of their own.

The hazy poets are undoubtedly a group of messengers who have a strong desire for the bright world. They are good at expressing their dissatisfaction and contempt for the dark side of society through a series of trivial images, which opens up a new world and space for modern image poetry.

After the Cultural Revolution, the representatives of the misty poetry school were Kitajima, Shu Ting, Gu Cheng, Yang Lian and others.
